SONICblue Picks up Sensory Science

SONICblue, which used to be S3 until it acquired Diamond Multimedia in 1999 and moved into building Internet appliances, broadband communications, home networking, and audio gadgets, just completed its acquisition of Sensory Science, a digital entertainment company specializing in developing digital video and audio products. Sensory Science products include the Go-Video DVR4000 DVD/VCR combo unit, (which actually doesn't' sound like a bad idea for a conversion device until DVD-R/RW gets more affordable). Sensory Science also builds digital televisions, Internet media players, DVD players, and home theater components. Interesting to see what all those ex-graphics card companies are evolving into, isn't it?
